The strongest base that can exist in a solution in appreciable concentration is the conjugate base of the solvent. a. True
b. False

a. True

Explanation:

From the basic concepts of acids and bases, we know that when a base accepts a hydrogen ion (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid which can accept again the H⁺ ion:

B⁻ + H₂O ⇆ BH + OH⁻

The stronger the base, the weaker the conjugate base. Thus, as more strength has a base, lesser strength will have the conjugate base (it will not be able to accept again the H⁺ ion). For example, when water (H₂O) loses its H⁺ , it forms the conjugate base OH⁻. So, OH⁻ is the stronger base that can exist in an aqueous solution.

H₂O ⇆ H⁺ + OH⁻

In fact, strong bases are hydroxides, such as NaOH or KOH.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
